Being a Celtic fan is basically membership of a delusional cult, so it’s no surprise he’s as thick as he sounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago To be fair it’s given it’s a bit of a stretch to seriously consider us to win the league - Leicester would be the comparison and I’m sure they were leading at Xmas . finish in top 6 will be fabulous - top 4 would be amazing - anything more needs a level of magic for us and further disaster for others.

star sail Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago I think a reasonable guess as to how the season might now finish would be 1. Celtic 2. Hearts 3. Rangers 4. Motherwell I have been really surprised by Hearts. I thought the wheels would have come off before now and it hasn't so they are genuine title contenders now. I do wonder how the table would look just now if we had held on at Tynecastle for the win. Much as I hate to say it, Chris Sutton is right. Over a full season you need the resources to stay competitive. JBA has played a blinder rotating the squad but Celtic, Rangers and Hearts will be able to strengthen in January in a way that Motherwell can't. 4th place would be a sensational result this season should it happen.

In a normal season, I would agree with this, as experience tells us this is the way things usually pan out. This isnt a normal season though. Im not suggesting we are in the title race, but to dismiss it like Sutton has shows the kind of arrogance that has led Celtic to where they are this season (with the money they have in the bank they should be miles ahead of everyone). FWIW I dont think Hearts are going away. They have the technology and the resource to strengthen in January and seem to be more astute in spending their money right now than Rangers or Celtic. We will need to address the striking position and get some cover in for Longelo and Welsh to be in the equation. But we have showed over nearly half the season that, if we can keep everyone fit, we are a match for anyone in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claretband Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Typical ignorant Scottish football pundit.It was the sneering way he said it that annoyed. The host persisted and mentioned us once or twice more. At no stage did Sutton demonstrate any deeper knowledge eg our depth and quality in midfield.

I don't really listen to them, with one or two exceptions, just guys and gals stating what uou can see with your own 2 eyes. Doesn't make them bad people, e.g faddy, can't not like him , michael stewrt is quite entertaining too but Sutton thinks he's turned into an art form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
